    Accepted to Peabody - Master's

    in Education Forums

    I was also really excited to receive a Peabody Honors Scholarship. I had heard this via email in January, and I got a copy in the mail today. However, when reading the details I read that you are required to maintain a 3.75 GPA to maintain this scholarship. This sounds pretty daunting. Does anyone have any idea about what the grading breakdown is like at Peabody or how managable this would be?

    It's totally manageable. :) I was in the first cohort of the honors fellows and I'm pretty sure no one got kicked out due to grades. :)

    [i am just lurking out of boredom. Congrats to all the new Peabody admits!]

    Hi Heather!

    If you get an Honors Scholarship, you can still get other aid. I got a research assistantship to go along with my scholarship. I think most assistantships come from the department and some are awarded and others have an application process (I know that I've gotten a few emails with info about applying). Loans are given out by the university's financial aid office, I believe, instead of Peabody, so that info comes later in the spring. :)

    See you in the fall!

    What I heard was that the stipend usually is for an assistantship, so you'd be doing research or being a TA or something and getting a stipend in return. Whereas the PHS is just free money. :P

    I would fill out the financial aid form anyway. :) Can't hurt, right? :) And it's a short form.

    I got an email this morning with news that I got a "Peabody Honors Scholarship." It covers two-thirds of tuition and apparently they plan on having academic luncheons and "social opportunities" for the 2010 Honors cohort. Not sure what the social opportunities part means, but it sounds great to me. :)

    I'm choosing between Child Studies and Special Ed. I emailed and asked whether the scholarship was for either program and was told it's from the special education department but that it is possible that it could go with me if I choose the other program; he said it was the first cohort and they're not really sure. Certainly helps me make my decision. :)

    Also got an email that I'd be getting stipend info next week. So excited. :)

    I'm headed to Peabody too. :)

    I applied to two master's programs (ECE Special Ed and Child Studies). Still trying to decide between the two.

    They said financial info would be coming in the first two weeks of March (that was their goal) but we should still do the Vanderbilt financial aid form (due March 15th) even if we haven't heard about funding by then.

    in Waiting it Out

    Posted

    When we started seriously dating, I had already accepted a job across the country. I moved out to CA from MA and after 6 months of long distance, he found a job and moved out to be with me.

    We're getting married in April and wouldn't consider breaking up or doing the long-distance thing. Instead, he applied to MBA programs and I applied to the schools that have good programs for me too. Our first choices happen to be the same school. He was accepted in December and here I am, nervously waiting. :) Since he moved for me the first time, we decided that he'll still go to his first choice school even if I don't get in and I'll just continuing teaching and then go back to school. Ideally, we both get in and it's happily ever after but if not, I'm willing to sacrifice to have him around, like he did for me. :)
